Shopping malls are no longer the preferred option for consumers, and online retailers are reaping the rewards. Who knows what the future will bring but now is your chance to capitalise on this new sales potential with parcel shipping from UK to US.
The costs and services on offer are a vital part of your stateside growth strategy. Your UK customers demand excellent customer service, value for money, a choice of shipping options and — of course — for their packages to arrive on time in great condition. Your US customers will expect the same. Perhaps one carrier is better for quick deliveries and another is better for parcels that are not time-sensitive.
So why not offer the choice to your customers, and benefit from the great choice of rates yourself? Now to continue your research. E-commerce retailers can choose from a variety of different shipping carriers when sending goods from the UK to the US. These include:. Or better yet — why not have full flexibility to choose from all the best carriers as your business and your requirements change and grow?

The latter method costs less than using a courier. The parcel may be left unattended at the delivery point. The RM estimates are stupidly low! I've had parcels take anywhere from 4 days door to door to 5 and a half weeks. It will depend on which airport they route through, Chicago is the one that I see complaints about most.

The weather also can impact the delivery times. BoudoirPrive Crafty Poster. Very valid point Lynne. I have found that standard airmail takes weeks to arrive in the US, whereas tracked without signature takes days. That is why I offer tracked as a shipping upgrade. Out of 17 tracked and signed parcels sent this year to the US only 2 have arrived.
A couple only went this week, most have been sitting in local facilities for about 3 week, one is on its way back. I came here particularly to see if others were experiencing this before contacting Royal Mail.
Perhaps there is some sort of incompatibility problem with the signature required. Has anyone success stories to report for tracked and signed?!!! BrillandBen Avid Reader. I always send tracked and signed, and have never had any significant problems. I find the delays are in US customs; usually days sometimes up to a month or 6 weeks , and sometimes the USPS takes longer than we are used to in the UK it's a large country with occasional weird and extreme weather.
It's always worth checking the RM website to see if there are any known problems with international postal services, then you can let your buyer know that there might be a delay. WolfSpeakersWor kshop Reader. The royal mail estimates are really only for how long it takes to get to the country you are sending to NOT the person. Once your parcel passes out of royal mails hands and into another postal service such as USPS then the time frame can be anything at all.
And the communication was excellent all the way. Thank you to all at the company. We have used 1st Move International over the past five years and never had a concern. The service we have received has encouraged us to give 1st Move International's details to all our friends. Everything about 1st Move itself was excellent - they were efficient, courteous, very responsive to all my concerns and very straightforward to deal with.
These guys are the best, superb service and amazing packing skills, everything arrived safely and not a scratch or broken glass in sight. Once packed, your pallets are photographed and pictures of your shipment will be posted immediately to our Facebook page.
You will be given a list of prices relating to different shipment sizes. You can then go ahead and book by providing some additional information, such as the dimensions and weight of your shipment. The time to ship from UK to US is working days. Most of us would feel lost without access to a laptop. We use them to communicate with friends, to buy clothes and gifts, to do our weekly shopping and to watch TV and movies.
It is not surprising, therefore, that many people wish to ship their laptop with Send My Bag when they go abroad.
